He's up to 7 tackles now, which leads the team, but I didn't see him make much of an impact when it mattered. Just sayin'.

Touchdown, Giants. Slant to Slayton.

Don’t like that - too easy

Conversion try no good, so with 1:52 left, Steelers still lead 26-16. I don't think anyone left too early.

pass D needs to pock it up for next games.

The Steelers sustained a couple significant injuries to their offensive line. G Stefen Wisniewski, David DeCastro’s replacement, sustained with a torn pectoral muscle – a potentially serious injury. RT Zach Banner injured his knee on Roethlisberger’s final TD and did not return.

DiCastro back next week?

Brian Batko

9:59

Tough to say, but my gut is yes. He'll need to be. The depth on the OL is no bueno. Only spot on the roster where they actually kept a couple XFL products, putting them on the practice squad. Can Kevin Colbert maybe look into a trade?

Sergio from Mexico

Thanks for the Chats BB. Hopefully they continue throughout the season.
vamos Steelers!!!

Preciate ya, Sergio.

The doctor

Get on the wire and start looking for OL

Sergio from Mexico

10:00

really bad news on the OL front...

Brian Batko

10:01

Lol @ the amount of folks asking if I’m coming out of retirement. 😂😂😂. Hey, me and @JMartRadio got a good thing going. Plus I’m mentally out of it.

Last count i heard on soft tissue injuries across the league was 53...i bet that number is conservative

Brian Batko

10:01

Was always something to watch after the odd offseason, no preseason, etc.

Destiny

10:01

They have some lineman they can move around

Brian Batko

10:02

Villanueva, Feiler, Pouncey, Dotson, Okorafor? Right now that's the 5 up front. Not bad, but another injury away from JC Hassenauer, Feiler moving back to tackle, et.

Ken

10:02

Dotson was huge pulling!!

Dave

10:03

the big takeaway from this game...Big Ben is back!

Brian Batko

10:04

He looked pretty good to me, just in the moment. Didn't really have to uncork many, but the tip-toe catch along the sideline by Chase Claypool was very encouraging for both QB and rookie WR.

Destiny

10:05

Coach T 9 in a row on MNF

Butch

10:05

Good solid win. Nice to have #7 back in the pocket again

Brian Batko

10:06

Chase Claypool with an end-around to ice it. And he flexes. Steelers 26, Giants 16 will be your final.

Dave

10:06
